Question

A Pull force of 10 N acting at 5 m from the origin is inclined at 60 degree with positive x axis. Determine the moment of force about the origin.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that moment of force is 5 N-m about a point O when we apply a force of 10 N. We know that moment of force is given by formula rXF.

5=r×10

r=0.5m.

Hence we apply a force at a perpendicular distance of 0.5 m.
